Dredging up the past

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I think it more likely that Jonas' crashed ship was one of the smaller,=20
intrasystem ships--a ship such as the one that ferries Severian and=20
Burgundofara to Urth, for example, or such as the ship of the Hierodules in=20
"Lictor."

I had that impression, too.
